We welcome all who embrace our purposes, recognizing that each of us is called upon to confront the essential Jewish notions of God, Covenant, mitzvah, and tzedakah.
Welcome to the All Saints’ Episcopal Church web page! It is my hope that this on-line visit will provide you with a glimpse into the life and ministry of All Saints’. Of course, there is no way to fully experience the true richness of any faith community except through Sunday morning worship. Consider this your invitation!
The All Saints’ community especially prides itself in its commitment to worship and preaching, ministry to children, and outreach to the community and the world. We enjoy being with one another in the presence of God. We are also a diverse group. Parishioners come from Briarcliff, Ossining, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Yorktown, and Irvington, among others. All Saints’ is made up of young families with children, retirees, singles, and teenagers. Some are life-long Episcopalians, others grew up in different faith traditions, and still others grew up without any church background. What we have in common is an understanding that our spiritual lives are never “complete.” We don’t have all the answers but enjoy thinking, praying, and questioning together as we grow in our knowledge and love of God.
Chabad of Briarcliff Manor & Ossining is located at 11 Orchard Road, Briarcliff Manor, NY 10510. Chabad of Briarcliff Manor & Ossining is one of over 3000 branches of today’s largest international organization involved with Jewish education and outreach programs. Embracing the philosophy of the Lubavitch movement, which originated in the town of Lubavitch in White Russia during the 18th century, Chabad's underlying doctrine is "Ahavat Yisrael" (love for a fellow Jew).
Chabad recognizes no differences between Jews; its goal is to serve the spiritual and physical needs of every Jew regardless of affiliation, wherever he or she may be, with understanding and with love. Chabad's ultimate goal is that by uniting all Jews around the world, and inspiring many to become more aware of their Jewish heritage we can bring about the final redemption through the righteous Moshiach speedily in our days.

Congregation Sons of Israel is an egalitarian Conservative synagogue founded in 1891 by a small dedicated group of families who settled in Ossining, NY. Through the years, we have grown and prospered. Today, we are a strong vibrant organization with over 550 member families. Under the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Steven Kane and Cantor Jeffrey Shiovitz, and the guidance of our educational director, Roni Shapiro, our congregation offers a unique blend of family and community, providing a learning, social and spiritual environment for all ages. Why not attend a service and see what a warm and welcoming family our congregation truly is?
All are welcome. At the Christ Church Bronxville, all baptized Christians, no matter what age, and no matter of what denomination, are welcome to “receive communion,” that is, eat the bread and drink the wine with the congregation, regardless of which Church they were baptized in. This invitation to other Christians who are not Episcopalians is in sharp contrast to the position of other Churches, such as the Roman Catholic Church, which allows only Roman Catholics to receive. Episcopalians invite all baptized people to receive, not because we take the Eucharist lightly, but because we take our baptism so seriously.
Visitors who are not baptized Christians are still welcome to come forward during the Communion to receive the blessing of the priest. At the end of the Eucharist, the congregation prays once more in thanksgiving, and then is dismissed to continue the life of service to God and to the World.
Everyone is always welcome at a Quaker meeting for worship. Join with us at the Chappaqua Friends Meeting where in worship Friends gather into silent, expectant waiting. We hold ourselves open to the Light and reach for the divine center of our being. We know the center to be a place of peace, love, and balance, where we are at one with the universe and with each other. We know from experience that revelation is continuing and that a divine power is at work in the world today, healing, guiding, gathering, and transforming. We call this power God, the Light, Christ, the Seed, the Inward Teacher. By whatever name it is known, its nature is love. It draws us toward a life of integrity, simplicity, equality, community, and peace.
Our meetings strive to be loving, nurturing communities. We celebrate diversity and encourage each person to find his or her true voice grounded in experience. We listen deeply to the Spirit and to each other as we seek to discern and embrace God’s will for us individually and as a community. We warmly invite you to join us at the Chappaqua Friends Meeting.
The mission of the First Congregational Church in Chappaqua is to be a caring community, seeking to know and celebrate the love of God joyfully by following Jesus Christ, in our worship, fellowship, service, and outreach to God's world.
The First Congregational Church of Chappaqua has a rich history of ecumenism, which began with the coming together of settlers in a second floor auditorium, travels through many stages of building and growing through the years to end in the elegant, welcoming brick edifice it now occupies. Over the years the vicissitudes of time and demographics have caused the members to grow and change in many ways. Founded on the principals of the New England town meeting, whose precepts follow those of the Magna Carta, the Congregational Church allows and encourages each member to discharge the responsibility of informed opinion and devoted action, both during its annual meeting and in its various activities and board functions during the year.
A synagogue in the tradition of Reform Judaism, Temple Beth El is a community where prayer is engaging and participatory. We cherish spiritual depth, sacred and contemporary music, lifelong learning and social justice as paths to Jewish commitment. Temple Beth El is a home in which we celebrate our joys and share our sorrows.
Temple Beth El welcomes all who wish to participate in Jewish life: singles, couples and families in all their forms. In the words of our Senior Rabbi, Joshua M. Davidson, “The synagogue is a kehilah kedoshah, a sacred community. Like a sukkah, it is constructed of many different branches woven together: the young, the old, the rich and the poor, the married and the unmarried, single parents, grandparents, gays and heterosexuals, non-Jewish spouses. The broader the Sukkah’s reach, the more tightly its branches are woven, the stronger it stands.”

Holy Name of Mary began as a mission church of St. Augustine's Parish in Sing Sing (now the village of Ossining, NY) in 1868. In 1877 Archbishop McClosky of New York assigned a resident pastor, Fr. Patrick McGovern, and it became a parish in its own right.
The first church that was built named the street which is still called Church Street. Many stone masons and laborers from Italy emigrated to this area during the construction of the Croton Dam (1892-1905), and their descendants are among the active parishioners of the parish to this day. The second church was built on Grand Street in 1898. In 1929, a third church was built adjacent to the second, and the older church was converted into a school. The Chapel of the Good Shepherd was also built in the Harmon section of the village at that time. The second and third churches were built of stone through the generosity of the Coleman family, who were the builders of the Croton Dam.
In 1990 and 1991, both the main church and Good Shepherd Chapel were remodeled and renovated. The school building was converted to be used as a center for religious education, daycare, and as meeting spaces for many parish and extra-parish groups. Because of increased need for meeting space of the ever enlarging religious education program, parish Montessori school, youth ministry, and parish ministry groups another large meeting space was added to the church/school complex in 2000.

We were among the first in our area to count women in the quorum of worshipers and call them to the Torah for aliyot.

Our founding members set the tone of intimacy and warmth almost 40 years ago, which has not dissipated through the years.

Beth Emeth Synagogue is an egalitarian Conservative synagogue with a multi-generational membership. Our small size and our “participatory congregation” make our shul feel like a second family. Beth Emeth was founded in 1958 by members wanting to get away from the economics and politics of the high-pressure fundraising efforts that often take over at larger synagogues. This group wanted a more intimate experience focused on the joys and fullfulment of practicing Judaism. Today, Beth Emeth is a shul where everybody knows each other, where children become bar or bat mitzvah without having to share a haftorah, where anybody can participate in Shabbat services, and where contributions are not publicized.
We, the Roman Catholic worshipping community of the Church of Saints John and Paul, have heard and responded to the call of Jesus Christ to proclaim the Good News in word and deed. At our Baptism, we as Catholics, have been empowered and made bold by the Holy Spirit to evangelize the community we live in. We welcome all to share our love of Jesus and His church as together we build up the Kingdom of God. We strive to accomplish this task because we are committed to one another in mutual support and presence.
The Sunday Eucharist is the source and summit of our common life together. At the Church of Saints John and Paul we can share our gifts and talents with one another because we have been nourished by Word and Sacrament at His altar. We witness our love of Jesus in our daily lives by reaching out in compassionate service to the aged and infirm, to youth, to the spiritually poor, to the economically oppressed, to the hungry, the alienated, the lonely and the outcast.

Westchester Muslim Center is located in Mount Vernon, Westchester County. In the 1970's, several professional Muslims migrated from different parts of the world to the U.S.A. Some of them chose Westchester county as their home. Over the years, these new immigrants became naturalized citizens and were identified as Muslim Americans.

While Zen has its roots in the Buddhist tradition of China, Korea and Japan, it is a spiritual practice of increasing interest in the Western world. This practice is open to those of all traditions. Many find that this meditation serves to enliven and enrich their own religious faith.

Half-hour periods of zazen are followed by ten minutes of kinhin (walking meditation). We also join together in Sutra Chanting, Dharma study, and Caretaking (work-practice). All these practices are designed to help us bring clear attention and an open Heart/Mind into our everyday living.

The Episcopal Church is a part of the worldwide Anglican Church, a fellowship within the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, of which the Archbishop of Canterbury is the spiritual leader.
Today, Trinity is enjoying renewal and re-growth under the pastoral guidance of our eighth rector, The Rev. Canon Charles P. Pridemore. He is leading the parishioners to build on Trinity's liturgical roots in Anglo-Catholic worship, while proclaiming the Gospel of Christ to Ossining and the wider community. Our parish is home to people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, including families from Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and the fourth generation of a family from Ossining. We are single, engaged, married, widowed, gay and lesbian. Together we are a loving family known as Trinity Church, living our lives as Christ would have us live them.

The Union Church of Pocantico Hills features stained glass windows created by two modern masters: Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and Marc Chagall (1887-1985). Commissioned as memorials by members of the Rockefeller family whose estate, Kykuit, is nearby, the windows include the final work of Matisse, completed just two days before his death, and the only cycle of church windows created by Chagall in the United States.
On behalf of his family, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller commissioned Matisse to create a rose window in memory of his mother Abby Aldrich Rockefeller (1874-1948), a distinguished patron of the arts, a founder of the Museum of Modern Art, and wife of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Before his death, Matisse had finished the design and had also selected the colors and exact type of glass to be used in the window. His daughter carried out his instructions, and the window was dedicated on Mother's, Day 1956.
David Rockefeller, representing his brothers and sister, commissioned Chagall in 1963 to design a similar memorial to their father, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. who had died in 1960. The large window "The Good Samaritan" was installed and dedicated in 1965. Chagall created eight smaller windows in the sanctuary, seven of which are devoted to Old Testament subjects. The eighth window, established as a memorial to Michael Rockefeller (1938-1961) who was lost in New Guinea, has a New Testament theme.

We, the Parish of Corpus Christi, are "One Body in Christ". Our mission is to follow Christ’s example of love by which we are bound together with the strength of the Holy Spirit. We incorporate His teachings in our daily lives through corporal and spiritual acts, and we reach out to others with compassion, acceptance and love. To accomplish this mission, we have been given a share in the charism of the Salesian Family. This charism gives shape and provides direction and power for all we do, especially for youth.
Like St. John Bosco, we at the Church of Corpus Christi believe in the power of little things and in the significance of each member of our parish family. Actions that are most dear to us include making everyone feel welcome as part of a real family, enabling people to be the best Christian men and woman possible, and helping one another feel the presence of our Lord in all things.

Chabad-Lubavitch is a philosophy, a movement, and an organization. It is considered to be the most dynamic force in Jewish life today.

Bet Am Shalom Synagogue is a member of the Reconstructionist movement, the newest of the four major Jewish dominations. Many people may join Bet Am Shalom because it is a warm, caring, open and participatory congregation, not because it is Reconstructionist.

We often joke that many Jews are Reconstructionist at heart, but may not be aware of it.
Congregation Kol Ami is a vibrant and caring Jewish community connecting our members to Judaism on many levels - emotional, spiritual, intellectual and ethical - enriching our lives through wisdom (Torah) and relationships that are formed with one another and with God (Avodah), and acts of love and kindness (Gemilut Hassadim).

Begun in 1966, the founders of Woodlands Community Temple sought to create a different kind of congregation. Focusing on the word “community,” they instilled in our members a feeling of belonging and involvement which we often refer to as “the Woodlands Way". Our synagogue is a large, brick mansion on a rural-feeling piece of land in the Town of Greenburgh. Comfortable and homey, our building is made more charming by a simple glass-walled Sanctuary which brings the outdoors in, and no raised bimah or fixed seats.
Our worship experiences are predominantly upbeat and celebratory. We view worship as a microcosm for the outside world and, as such, endeavor to include as much of the full gamut of human experience as we can - from joyous to sad, philosophical to emotional. Additionally, without organ or professional choir, our music is participatory and quite lovely, more often than not accompanied by guitar or some other instrument. Since Woodlands Community Temple members prefer to be part of the service rather than spectators to it, we make every effort - liturgically, musically, and spiritually - to involve us all deeply in it.
The Young Israel of White Plains is a rapidly-growing Orthodox congregation in one of Westchester County's most desirable residential communities.

Our myriad parks, tree-lined streets and charming homes exhibit tranquil beauty and provide an ideal setting for raising children.
Our rabbis teach us that the world exists on the basis of three things - "Al HaTorah, Al HaAvodah v'Al Gemilut Chasadim" - on The Torah, Serving God, and Acts of Loving-Kindness. The Young Israel of White Plains has a strong allegiance to these three tenets. The mission of the Young Israel of White Plains is to provide a spiritual home where its members not only practice traditional Judaism, but also understand the importance of establishing and participating in programs which exemplify the ideals of Judaism.
The Young Israel of White Plains is a synagogue in which individuals of varying religious backgrounds, from those beginning to explore their Jewish heritage to those with yeshiva backgrounds, come together in the exciting process of building a Jewish community. The participation of each and every member is greatly valued, and new members are welcomed with open arms.
The Lincoln Park Jewish Center (LPJC) is a Modern Orthodox Congregation that can best be described as an “un-orthodox Orthodox congregation.” Lincoln Park Jewish Center's congregation is made up of Jews from a wide variety of backgrounds, levels of observance, ethnicities and races, nationalities and many different languages. We are all committed to maintaining and participating in a shul that welcomes this diversity and affirms it, so that we can worship, learn and grow together as a community. Our services are fully Orthodox and follow the Ashkenazik tradition but also incorporate some Sefardic melodies and traditions. We are also committed to the fullest participation and equality of women as acceptable by Jewish law.
Welcome to Mishkan Ha'am. We're a new and growing community dedicated to serving as a bridge between the search for religious identity and the demands of the secular world. As a Reconstructionist congregation, we integrate a deep respect for traditional Judaism with the insights, ideas, and innovations growing from contemporary life. If you are interested in Jewish religion, spirituality, culture, history and philosophy, there is a place for you here, whether you are a senior citizen or a child, single or married, gay or straight, part of an interfaith household, one with longstanding Jewish practice, or no previous Jewish affiliation.
About half of the members at Mishkan Ha'am live in southern Westchester County and half live in the Riverdale/Kingsbridge area of the Bronx. At present, many of our ongoing programs take place at the the Reform Church of Hastings, 18 Farragut Ave in Hastings-on-Hudson, while we look for a more permanent home in the Riverdale-Yonkers-Hastings area.
Welcome to San Andres. San Andres is a Hispanic Latino Episcopal congregation; one of many in the Episcopal Diocese of New York. The Priest in Charge of San Andres is The Rev. Dr. Peregrine L. Murphy.
The Episcopal Diocese belongs to a confederation of dioceses, which is known as the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, which was formalized in 1789. The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States in turn belongs to the Anglican Communion, an association of independent Churches that follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, and as such, uphold and proclaim the Catholic and Apostolic faith, based upon the Scriptures, interpreted in light of tradition, scholarship and reason. The Anglican Communion is historically tied with England. It is unknown when the Christian Church was first established in England, but in 596 Pope Gregory I sent Augustine, with approximately 40 monks, as missionaries. Augustine was later made the first Archbishop of Canterbury. The Church in England separated from Rome, after the Reform movement in 1570 when Pope Pius V excommunicated Elizabeth I. The Churches in the Anglican Communion regard the Archbishop of Canterbury as their spiritual leader, believe that they are a part of God's holy and true Church, and also affirm that God works in other communions and traditions. The Anglican Church strives for unity in fellowship and faith with these traditions.
Christmas eve 1998 marked the 200th year that the people St. John's Episcopal Church, Tuckahoe have worshipped in our beautiful church building.

St. John's is a Christ-centered community of people of diverse backgrounds and all ages. We come together to worship God through services each week and on special feast days. We learn ever more about our faith and Christian heritage through classes, Sunday School, Christian Ed and Bible Study. We meet to share in fellowship. We volunteer our time and talents in the service our Lord and of others.
We are located in northeastern Yonkers in the Colonial Heights area, and though only a few blocks from the bustle of Central Ave, St. John's can be described as a "country" church, full of warm, friendly, outgoing folks.
